22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Smart hurdler has run some fine races in defeat over fences; best effort when second in a 2m1f Cork handicap off a mark of 130 in April; not as good twice since but cheekpieces are added and a big player if at his best. |
7/4 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 0lb |
Rated 130 after five runs over fences without winning; beaten favourite at Cork on handicap chase debut (2m1f, good to yielding); 25l behind in a big-field Listed handicap chase here last time; needs to raise his game but could be best placed to take advantage if the top-rated disappoints. |

Winning hurdler; yet to score over fences; beaten favourite at Cork in his first handicap chase; needs to raise his game in first-time tongue-tie. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |
11st 4lb |
Bumper winner; yet to show much over fences and his second here on latest was an extremely remote one (beaten 70l, just two finished); cheekpieces go on now for handicap chase debut; not easy to make a case for. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner for Nicky Henderson in 2024 but lightly-raced since, latterly for this yard; not a bad chase debut at Punchestown last November but was pulled-up at Kilbeggan 12 days ago so questions to answer. |

Bumper winner for Nicky Henderson, but very lightly raced since and overall form does not leave much room for optimism. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Yet to win on the Flat but ran a fine race in a Killarney maiden over 1m last time; juvenile hurdle winner in 2024 was disappointing when last seen in that sphere; has a bit to find on chasing debut. |

4th 1 (8) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 9lb |
Winning hurdler; 0-11 on the Flat, second in a Clonmel maiden last season; best of four runs this term when a staying-on third in a C&D maiden; down the field in a Leopardstown handicap; made a lot of the running before fading into fourth in a maiden over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe. |

11st 12lb |
One of two runners for yard; bumper and maiden hurdle winner for John Queally has had seven chase runs, with best effort a close second at Tipperary last year; has a shout if at his best on return for a new yard. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner had been running with credit on the Flat earlier this year; best effort over fences when second in a Tipperary beginners' in July; still had a chance when falling at Galway since; can be involved. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner has run respectably in defeat on the Flat before running his best race over fences when second in a 2m Tipperary beginners' last time; should be involved with a repeat of that. |

11st 12lb |
Front-runner has not totally convinced with his jumping on his initial runs over fences despite finishing second last twice; can get away with it over these small fences and sure to give a good account from the front. |
9/4 |

2nd 3 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was in the process of running a cracker when returning from 745 days off on his chasing debut at Wexford before falling at the last; pulled a long way clear with one other at Roscommon 13 days later when runner-up (2m1f, soft); this is another run relatively quickly but he looks like he has improved for fences. |
9/4 |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was returning from a 745 day layoff at Wexford 13 days ago when making his chase debut and was in the process of running a cracker before falling at the last; sharper for that and can go well once this doesn't come too soon. |

11st 12lb |
Went close on chase bow here (2m) in June (Nadia's Boy and Scalpnagoon behind) but unseated back here next time and out of depth in hot 2m2f Galway beginners' chase on latest; this looks less demanding, this longer trip will suit and he is a leading contender with rider claiming valuable 7lb. |
11/4 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
0-3 in point-to-points; 2-6 and rated 117 over hurdles; promising start to chasing career when runner up at Wexford; blotted copybook when unseating at the first back there on latest; probably up against it in this company. |
9/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden and novice hurdle winner last season up to 2m6f but lost his form afterwards; rebounded with a fine effort over C&D on chasing debut, running on late; has a shout if building on that. |
